BROOKFIELD, WIS. (APRIL 2023) — Michael Creed, a mortgage professional and Branch Manager with Luminate Home Loans, was recently awarded the Five Star Award by Five Star Professional for the sixth consecutive year.

“This is the sixth time I’ve received the Five Star Award for being a mortgage professional,” says Creed. “And every time I feel completely humbled. I have always taken pride in my work in the mortgage industry, but there’s something extra special when it comes to being recognized for the dedication I like to show our clients.”


Creed and his team at Luminate Home Loans believe that an informed consumer will make wise choices regarding their finances and mortgage, which is why they work so hard to be that source of knowledge.
